I’ve mentioned it before, but I wasn’t a good student. I did everything but study. I drove Intercape buses, I managed restaurants, and I even had my own irrigation business. Between all those activities, there was little time, or desire, for academics. My daughters, on the other hand, were the opposite. They probably take after […]
Read moreIs Jesus really the Son of God? It’s not up to us to answer this question, because there are three witnesses who themselves confirm that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. 7-8And all the while the Spirit is confirming the truth, the reality of God’s presence at Jesus’ baptism and crucifixion, bringing those occasions […]
Read moreWhere people are involved, there are always stories. My story, your story, and the story of the truth. What begins as a mere wonder, by the third telling, is recounted as a truth. “I wonder if so or so is getting divorced,” says one. Three people later, “Did you hear that so or so got […]
Read moreI read this beautiful story somewhere: With the term drawing to a close, the class was unruly. Their behaviour was intolerable to everyone. It was Rassie who sprayed the teacher’s snow-white dress full of ink. She ran to the principal’s office in tears. But when she got there, there was no ink on her clothes, […]

The little girl was five years old and the little boy, two. You could call them two peas in a pod, but that’s not the […]
Read moreIn the business world, we always tried to add value to our workforce. We even hired a psychologist to meet with the staff weekly. Sometimes he would ask the staff to do a certain test so he could look at each person’s personality to determine if they held the right position. Seeing how people could […]
Read moreA friend of mine told this story from their ministry: After a few years, Anja, our interpreter, put us in touch with Eduard who used to be the leader of our ministry in Belarus and a good friend. In the meantime, he had moved to the USA as a refugee. He was a truck driver […]
Read moreMany people did not accept Jesus as the Saviour. To this day there are still Jews, especially the Orthodox Jews, who do not recognise Jesus as the Son of God who came to earth to die for humans’ sins. They’re still waiting for the coming of the One who will bring salvation, as predicted in […]
Read moreWhen Jesus came to earth, it didn’t draw a line through the old dispensation but only put it in a new light. The biggest impact was on people who lived under the law. We are used to laws. Laws are intended to help people live good lives. We have laws and rules for using public […]
